In my excitement I have lost the notes I made from Neil’s report yesterday, so this is from memory (help!). 

In what was to prove the most enjoyable day of the entire trip, Neil, Simon and friend paddled from Lamorna around Lands End to Sennen Cove.  The weather conditions were pretty much perfect, bright sunshine and light winds, with just enough swell to make the journey interesting.  The views of Lands End from the sea were breathtaking, as were the short trips into caves and out again – tunnels under the cliffs!

They put into Sennen Cove in good time and then celebrated with champagne on the beach.  High on adrenalin and champers they then got back into their kayaks and did some surfing for half-an-hour or so, before meeting up with Simon’s girlfriend and Alan, and decamping to the pub for a celebratory dinner.

So, is it all over?  Well, not quite.  There’s still the mile or so from Sennen Cove to Lands End to complete.  This will be a group affair, with quite a few of us meeting at Sennen Cove at 2.30 on Saturday 26th July to walk with Neil to Lands End and a triumphant finish.

In the meantime, CONGRATULATIONS NEIL!  It’s an amazing achievement.  And well done all of us supporters – we know who we are – and thanks to all who have followed the blog and sent messages of support.  Keep them coming – Neil will be able to do some blogging himself over the coming week and I know will want to respond.
